Technically 35 are up, two special elections, and only 22 are Republican seats so we could afford to lose 2 of the 35 with the goal of removing Trump. Still doable.
We could, however, lose 9 of them and still undo citizens united, pass medicaid for all, maybe tax the rich, etc.
More realistically I think we will see Republicans getting ousted in different ways than electing the DNC whose platform are those reforms I mentioned, instead we will probably see their seats go to moderate independents.

Like who? Any torchbearers for the moderate independents?
Mike Duggan
Well he’s running for Governor. Any federal candidates that fit that mold?
TBH I might get back to you on that because I don’t really have time to sit here and do your google searches for you.
Oh no worries. You talked about it like it was a thing, so I figured you knew someone. Don’t worry about it.
Well, in the past there were many similar examples, such as Joe Lieberman and Justin Amash.
Lieberman was the reason we didn’t get H4A. Amash became a full-time republiQan in 2021.
No thanks.
I’m not promoting them, I am promoting the DNC.
